^This part was the most important for me to read. People are ALL about the "female equality" stuff now-a-days, so this alone brings a lot of attention to Nintendo. One of the best groups to have on your side are feminists so Nintendo is doing something right there!

I don't know if Nintendo was listening to the demand for more female characters or if it was just a nicely timed coincidence. Either way I'm happy about it. I prefer female characters, especially badass ones like Impa in Hyrule Warriors. We have enough dudebro testosterone laced shooters.

More options never hurt anyone.

They've definitely been listening to the demand over the years. There's a reason why Rosalina, Peach, Dixie Kong, Palutina, etc are playable

No, I haven't. While men are often seen as the cool guys in video games, Women can be too. (For example Samus). I just don't see how Nintendo does something they always have done (Add female protagonists in their games) and it suddenly starts getting popular...

Read my previoud post. That tweet was more a jab at the other companies (Ubisoft in particular) than any commentary about Nintendo.

Yeah this has to be a typo. I think it's supposed to be 47% of all E3 tweets or gaming related tweets because if you add up the big three's percentages, its 100% and I know for a fact that 100% of twitter wasn't dedicated to the three console manufacturers. Still awesome either way, but damn, 47% of all tweets would be insane.

I do admit those companies overuse men... But I don't see why it's only happening now if Nintendo has been using female protagonists for a long time, while Ubisoft and EA have used mostly men
